My Heart Forgets To Beat

Philip Lee

4.9/5 (11918 ratings)

Description:MHFTB took me almost twenty years to write, and is dedicated to the memory of Sean Redmond, who was my mum's cousin. He volunteered for the International Brigade when the Spanish Civil War started, and was killed at Jarama. However, it's not his story, which was a tragedy. It's a picaresque romance, and – fgs – a bildungsroman. It explores why a working class man with a job and good prospects would go out and fight the fascists. Crucially, I wanted to avoid drawing too much on Orwell's book, Homage to Catalonia. Most volunteers simply didn't have his Eton education to look after them. I watched Ken Loach's film Land and Freedom after I'd finally finished writing, and I was relieved. The working class experience was generally quite different from Orwell's. What mars Loach's film is how he superimposes the one over the other. That's not to say the film isn't worthwhile, because of the poet Laurie Lee (no relation of mine) and his experience in the Spanish war. Oddly, I think the film might have been truer to life to if its “hero” had come from a sleepy Somerset village, rather than the political dynamite that was - and is - Liverpool.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
